Please this question in your own words: question 1: Density is a derived unit. What is a derived unit and can you think of another unit that is derived? Why is Density so important, what does it tell us? Do Trucking Companies need to know the Density of the material that they are hauling? Why would that be important? question 2:

You are on the management team of a company that is considering purchasing a tanker truck. The truck you want has a volume of 24,000 liters and an empty mass/weight of 15,300 kg. However, the route you wish to travel has a bridge with a weight limit of 25 tons. If you purchase the truck and fill it to capacity with a liquid whose density is 0.80 kg/L, what will the mass of the truck be? Will the truck filled to capacity be too heavy to cross the bridge? (1 kg=2.20 lbs)(1 kg=2.20 lbs) yes no What is the maximum volume you will be able to legally transport?
An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A second-hand system will cost $75,000. A new system with improved technology can decrease labor hours by 20% compared to the used system. The new system will cost $150,000 to purchase and install. Both systems have a useful life of ﬁve years. The market value of the used system is expected to be $20,000 in ﬁve years, and the market value of the new system is anticipated to be $50,000 in ﬁve years. Current maintenance activity will require the used system to be operated 8 hours per day for 20 days per month. If labor costs $40 per hour and the MARR is 1% per month, which system should be recommended?
